Thriller could be game of season

Round 6 produced some spectacular football with the crowd left biting their nails right until the final siren.

Redpa got out of the blocks early and put the first scores on the board bringing an intensity to the game that they haven’t shown all year.

Redpa’s Zac Bransden and Jotham Krom where key players as they tore through the centre and totally demolished any game plan that Forest Stanley put in place.

They took the lead as they went into the main break.

Veteran Rodney Franks shut down and outplayed Forest Stanley’s Donovan Lockett and left the forward with just two goals.

Forest Stanley’s Brad Hardy and Kade Bellinger stood tall in the backline and continually worked the ball back into the midfield.

In the end it came down to when the siren sounded as Forest Stanley walked away with a surprising 6 point win in what may be the game of the season.

In Smithton it was all one-way traffic as Irishtown continue to strengthen first place on the ladder as they took a 133 point win against Scotchtown with Sean Ryan being the star forward by bagging 11 big ones.
